THE STORYTELLER             August  2010

 

The Storyteller contains traditional and contemporary stories from all over the world, with notes for teachers and trainers on how the tales can be exploited. Other features include articles on the art of storytelling and shamanism as well as details of publications and services that might be of interest.  

This issue features a Native American story, a Yoruba legend, and an adaptation of a Mulla Nasruddin tale. If you have any stories or articles of your own that you would like to contribute to The Storyteller, please send them by e-mail to Michaelberman@blueyonder.co.uk and they will be considered for inclusion in a future issue. 

From the 15th to the 22nd of August I will be at the IAHR Conference in Toronto to present a paper on Neo-Paganism in Armenia, and also to preside over a session on Philosophical Issues in the Study of Religion to which I will be contributing with a paper on   Shamanism: Countable or Uncountable. The other news this month is that from 2011 the ELT through Storytelling course (see the Workshops and Courses page) will be held on a regular basis at Tti School of English, 148 Camden High Street, London NW1 0NE <www.ttischool.com> Full details can be obtained from the Principal, Siān Matos: <principal@tttischool.com> The course starting dates are 3/1/2011, 18/04/2011, 11/07/2011, and 8/08/2011.
